Many young men are starting their professional lives without as much a clue as to how to dress. This needs to change because they are our leaders of tomorrow and dressing sharp is the first step to becoming a professional.
It's crucial to pay attention to your clothing irrespective of working in a field where there are no strict dress codes, like construction, trading, welder, carpenter etc. most times your clothes introduces you before you introduce yourself and people will be more encouraged to take you seriously when you appear in a well fitted, clean and crisp clothing. I want to share some tips for our young men to consider as it will help them to appear smart and Lloyd good.:
#1: TAKE CARE OF YOUR CLOTHING; Generally speaking, being young means having less money to throw around, if you have shelled out a few pieces of good, quality clothing like a pair of expensive dress shoes, a custom suit, what you have is worth few bucks to take care of it and keeping it in good shape. So you should have good hangers for your suit, good shoe rack for your shoes, at least a tender loving care with your washing machine or good detergent and soap for hand washing them. You can get good quality clothes from thrift shops, all we need do is to adjust, mend and adjust them in a tailor's shop especially if you are lucky to have a common body type, use a good hanger because it contributes to the lasting of the elasticity of your clothes.
#2: DRESS TO LOOK OLDER; Your dressing determines how you are perceived, you still wear clothes that screams " student days" you are going to be treated as a BOY with no experience in the real world . Buck the trend, age your looks a little and get the respect you deserve from older the older men. That means getting rid of the majority of your ultra-casual clothes: T-shirts, cargo pants, jeans shorts, sweatshirts and sweat pants. Save few for yard work and exercise, but donate the rest of it to charity and start replacing it with dressier clothes that speaks to your maturity.
#3: HAVE AT LEAST ONE GOOD SUIT IN THE CLOSET; No matter what your job is, you will be needing a decent suit at home at some point. If its a place where you will wearing one regularly, then you should look for varieties of colors and styles.if you just need a single suit for infrequent dress occasions stick with a classic single-breasted, two-button suit in charcoal gray or navy blue. If you are buying off the rack, take time to have the suit tapered if necessary. A few department stores still offer the offices, but u will more than likely need to find a tailor independently. It's worth the effort since sized suits are made to general measurements. So it's worth it all.
#4: DRESS YOUR FOOTWEAR UP; If you have never owned a very really good shoes, then brace yourself to pay a significant amount of money for well made footwear. You may be shocked at the price tag on a well crafted shoes but the quality and comfort will go a long way and even last for years and stays good for just light cleaning and occasional shinning especially if it is a quality leather footwear.
#5: BUILD FROM AND BLUE SHIRTS: White and light blue cotton dress shirts are the backbone to a sharp wardrobe. It lies in the fact that the both colors make up a higher percentage of the dress shirts sold worldwide and that either color looks good on most complexions and body types. Patterns can liven up the basic white and blue color palette, and there is nothing wrong with branching out into some other colors as your personal style evolves. As long as you have one clean and hanging up in the closet, you will never be completely out of decent looking things to wear.
#6: OWN DARK FITTED JEANS AND KNOW WHEN TO WEAR THEM; Jeans styles are always rips, tears, acids and bleach washing, distressed, stone washed, boot cut, wide leg, low rise, baggy and skinny. Keep it simple and stick to fitted jeans in a dark color, sans fading or rips. You can wear them with a fitted T-shirt for a relaxed casual look or dress them up with a buttoned shirt and a sport jacket for a business-casual style.
#7: LOOK BEYOND DENIM: Well cut and classically styled trousers will make you look a little sharper at social occasions than jeans. They are less common in a young crowd, so you'll already be standing out, and a good pair of chinos trousers has a drape and crease that looks much crisper than denim. You can also get wool or cotton trousers much lighter than blue jeans, which is a blessing in any kind of warm weather.
#8: REPLACE T-SHIRTS WITH POLOS AND SPORT SHIRTS; Wearing t-shirts to gym and or in performing house chores is fine but wearing it to social events or to work is a "no no" especially when the shirts is too big and made from a shoddy fabric advertising the company who gave it to you a decade ago. A good polo is fine, dark color is always presentable and always flattering if its fitted well.
These tips will keep you away from committing fashion and style sins which many young men are guilty of. If you have more tips you will like to add to mine, then feel free to add yours.
